ItemOn automatic seeking of optimal steady-states in biochemical processesBastin, G ; Nešić, D ; Tan, Y ; Mareels, I (IFAC, 2007-01-01)It is discussed how the automatic seeking of optimal steady states biochemical reactors can be achieved by using non-model based extremum-seeking control with semi-global practical stability and convergence properties. A special attention is paid to processes with multiple steady-states and multivalued cost functions.

ItemOn global extremum seeking in the presence of local extremaTan, Y ; Nesic, D ; Mareels, I ; Astolfi, A (IEEE, 2006-01-01)We analyze global extremum seeking in the presence of local extrema for static nonlinear maps controlled by a scalar extremum seeking scheme that was recently proposed in [1]. Sufficient conditions are given under which it is possible to tune the controller parameters to achieve convergence to an arbitrarily small neighborhood of the global extremum in the presence of local extrema from an arbitrarily large set of initial conditions. Several examples provide insights and highlight the potential difficulties that one would face when trying to generalize our results.

ItemOn the choice of dither in extremum seeking systems: A case studyNesic, D ; Tan, Y ; Mareels, I (IEEE, 2006-01-01)We discuss how the dither (excitation signal) shape affects on the performance of extremum seeking using a benchmark situation: a static scalar map; and a simple scalar extremum seeking scheme. Our comparisons are based on the performance of the system with different dithers in terms of three performance indicators: the speed of convergence, domain of attraction and accuracy (i.e. the ultimate bound on trajectories). Our analysis explicitly shows how the dither shape affects each of these performance indicators. Our study suggests that the practitioners using extremum seeking control should consider the dither shape as an important design parameter. Computer simulations support our theoretical findings.
